Patterns and riffs
major and minor bars on basted bridges
whirlygig wonderwomen
swinging circles of star eyes gazing holding my wish with short pins and long visions pausing at tranquil nights and Sunday sabbaths to sew humble triangles into pinwheels, squares, rooster crowns’ wise bright
jive calico intensions
primary pizzicato colors
a crosshatch herringbone stitch
pastel hourglass blues
drunkard’s path to revelation
a maple leaf rag shedding off-beat joys
For Judith Lebow, with love.
